Well that happened then and it will continue to happen. Young people don't always know their tolerance levels and unfortunately sometimes it takes a few hangovers and even a black out or two to understand your limits. However, I saw some mighty wild things in college but never once saw anyone passed out drunk on a public street. That is pretty bad. |

This probably was posted earlier but Brock was into drugs and alcohol before Stanford so his statement that he was so innocent on the college scene was BS. There are other accusations against him from women before this..

What a loser |
I thought many posters on this thread didn't have a problem with people getting drunk, passing out, blacking out, and using drugs. If so, why would this info matter? |
cuz he's a loser who lied to the judge about his past drug use. He's a liar and that fits his profile as a sexual predator. Glad he will be on the registry for the rest of his days. |

So, apparently he didn't seem very drunk. That makes this a very different scenario, a very bad one.

So he started experimenting with alcohol/drugs the spring of his Senior year of HS and this incident with Emily Doe occurred in January of his freshman year of college (he was a 19 year old freshman, she was a 22 year old college grad with a FT job and a boyfriend). I'm still going to view this guy as a relative newbie to drinking/partying and specifically college parties - and women. He probably didn't have a great deal of experience being at drinking parties with women...
To have the freakin' Vice President of the United States voice an opinion about this is pretty amazing. And to have Barbara Boxer applaud the victim for being brave enough to "come forward"...assuming that you can call sleeping it off in the hospital, waking up with no memory of how you got there and no clue as to what happened to you "coming forward". Would the victim have gone through the rape kit and the crime photography of naked body over being groped/fingered by some drunken hookup? I know that I sure as hell wouldn't. The only reason that this got as far as it did is because she blacked out. She was terrified of wth may have happened to her...because she didn't know. I feel bad for her. And I am disgusted on her behalf that Brock touched her passed out body the way he did. He had no right to do that. It all seems like a bit of a witch hunt to me...I actually find myself feeling bad for BOTH of these young people. They have both lost so much... |

I'm amazed by the number and fervor of anonymous rape apologists. Really eye opening, in the most unfortunate way.
Best commentary I've read on the subject "She knew what she was doing by having a vagina on a Friday night." |
| Something about his eyes...reminds me of Adam Lanza. Very disturbing. |
Wtf, who CARES if he had much experience with drugs, parties, or women? Inexperience in any arena does not excuse sex with a partner who cannot consent. This is the most basic concept, it is UNREAL that people are defending this guy. |
That article makes it sound like she walked outside and he jumped her, dragged her behind those dumpsters and attacked her. The swedes saw him humping the unconscious woman behind the dumpsters. So where did the kissing that these two did come in? I thought Emily admitted to kissing him. Who kisses a man who is jumping, dragging, attacking and humping them behind a dumpster? I think there are some things missing from that article. |
I'm not defending him. But people are characterizing this guy in unfair ways...why? Isn't what he DID do bad enough? |
Exactly. It is not acceptable to "learn" this behavior is wrong by trial and error. A witch hunt?? Please. He ran away! He knew what he was doing was wrong, and yet blames "drinking culture" for his actions. Dirtbag, indeed. |
I hadn't thought of Adam Lanza, but I've also thought his eyes/gaze look a bit odd. Then I read somewhere that he's socially awkward. And his behavior with his victim seems strange or "off," in addition to the criminal aspects. |
Do you know what happens when you put a red drop of paint on a cute baby chick? The other chicks see it and peck, peck, peck, attack it until it's dead. Brock of course is not a baby chick but he isn't exactly Ted Bundy either. It seems so obvious that he got drunk, this young woman got drunk, one thing led to another and he touched her body inappropriately while she was passed out. Yeah, that was pretty awful of him. But he's been convicted and he'll serve his time. What I don't get is the peck, peck, pecking on this guy - is he really that horrible of a monster? And I don't understand why this victim is being portrayed as a modern day hero. She played a role in victimizing and hurting herself. I don't get it. |
